Transform the handling and steering response of your late second-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed Front Speed Kit 3. Designed for 1975-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models with Small Block Chevy or LS engines, this comprehensive package combines proven Detroit Speed suspension and steering components into an integrated system. Speed Kit 3 is engineered for enthusiasts who want to retain the stock front subframe while gaining improved suspension geometry, sharper steering response, adjustable ride height, and tunable shock performance in a convenient 100% bolt-on package.
Part number 031364-SDS features JRi single-adjustable coilover shocks with Detroit Tuned valving, giving you additional control over suspension response while retaining coilover ride-height adjustment. Upper and lower control arms improve suspension geometry and caster, while the substantial 1-3/8-inch OD x 0.188-inch wall tubular sway bar helps control body roll. An all-new 12.7:1 quick-ratio steering gear with Detroit Tuned rack-and-pinion valve technology and a Detroit Speed steering service kit complete a coordinated front-end package engineered to make your classic Camaro or Firebird feel tighter, more precise, and more responsive behind the wheel.
